better night

Praise God for a better night breathing for our little Ellie. She had fewer brady episodes since midnight (less than when we were there around 9 pm last night). She had 9 desats - but all were self-resolving in the night, so that's good. The Dr. was watching her and considering changing her back up to 2 L nasal cannula, but Ellie ended up coping better with the 1.5 L as the night progressed. The nurse also told me this morning that she was on her back for one whole hour and didn't have any bradies! YAY! She did have an Xray this morning to see her PICC line placement (routine). As far as her feedings, she had minimal residuals, so she still got her full feedings. Can't remember if I said Ellie was going to 6 mLs every three hours yesterday or today - but she's really starting the every 3 hours today! So we'll see how little missy copes with those changes. Again, please pray for this week as it's going to be an agressive week for her feedings to increase with the goal of possibly being off all IV fluids at the end of this week. So then she would just be eating mommy's milk. Also, if she gets off IV fluids, then no more PICC line which means no more risk of blood infection. I got two wonderful increments of sleep last night - one 5 hours and one 4.5 hour stint...and no bad dreams. THANK YOU JESUS! Praying that all who are reading this can be blessed today in ways that you have not seen Jesus work before. Until next time. Oh, and Good Morning Daddy (we girls still miss you like crazy!)
